140 – After this, I almost got hit by a car

138 – I have done the following with spinach and mushrooms (You are what you…etc.)

135 – This is the first day of my life

I steal a lot of titles from songs, often songs I don’t even listen to. A week ago I spent the day with someone I hadn’t seen in eight years. (There’s a whole mix of anxieties that come with writing … Continue reading

134 – Laughing Jesus

There was this woman on the bus today (yesterday) who was absolutely euphoric and laughing and laughing. When we stopped at a really sharp hill (which, of course, happens often in Seattle), she said, “Ohhhh Jesus!” and started laughing again, … Continue reading

132 – Switch

Today I ran into about five friends/my editor by happenstance (on four separate occasions), and then about as many folks from Campus Ministry, mostly away from campus. Last night I had written some things about dissatisfaction and social frustration and … Continue reading

129 – hokay… (2 to 7 mornings)

127 – another whine (or: want)

I wish my classes didn’t rely so heavily on me typing things or me doing research on the Internet or me operating in a plainly painted computer lab. I’d rather have sit in the cool 50ish degrees swallowing that carnation … Continue reading

126 – This is why I love seeing people run in plainclothes

These two things will always bring a smirk to my face: 1) People running in the airport 2) People running across campus, backpacks thu-thumping in a woosh, breath (and dignity) still far behind them as they slide into their desks. … Continue reading

125 – The future will be fine once I make it there

I have no idea what next year is going to look like. I know I’m not working for the paper. I know I am living in the hippie commune. I know I’m…taking classes… Applications are coming out for everything and … Continue reading

120 – you walked the deserts in leather boots, you wrote long letters to a woman in different states

Today I participated in an experiment with myself. Sprung from an idea told to me by a nun told to her by a priest and inspired by oranges, I decided to eat lunch today. And just eat lunch. Normally when … Continue reading

116 – mustard seeds (all the writing i’ve done this week)

201001050052 – I wonder if I tried too hard to make [someone] fit my [someone-else] hole. 201001052254 Dear Lord, When you care for someone, truly care about someone, it is like a marriage, a marriage of some parts of your … Continue reading
